<p>I'm having a really hard time choosing between the three schools. I want to go for fashion design but my main focus throughout highschool has been fine arts. </p>

<p>Syracuse - great fashion program, great art program in general, amazing academics, beautiful campus, school spirit. i think they mentioned they allow fashion students to go to fashion week in new york which is amazing. however its SO expensive and I didn't receive very much financial aid. My family can't really afford 50k/year right now. not sure about internships?</p>

<p>Delaware - was my first choice until i went to see Syracuse. loved the campus, close to home, great price, school spirit, good academics. but when i visited i wasnt very impressed with their art program? didnt see any of the fashion classes, no sewing machines or anything? but they do have a program with FIT where students can study there for a semester, and ive heard they have connections for internships.</p>

<p>Drexel - i wasnt even considering drexel until a few days ago. i dont know much about it except that i got alot more money to go there then i did for Cuse. apparantly an amazing fashion program, dont know how i feel about living in Philly? </p>

<p>any advice/opinions ? thanks</p>

<p>If you want to work in fashion design, chances are you are not going to get rich right out of school. So I would not go to Syracuse. The debt is really going to cripple your chances to do things that matter to you when you get out of college, and when you want to get into a field like fashion, youth is a valuable thing so you should be ready to pounce the minute you get out of school (and before if you can get internships). I’d go UDel or Drexel–definitely check out the latter ASAP.</p>
